If so, what are you thoughts? Worth it? Any you'd recommend? 

I'm thinking of changing up careers and am open to a lot, but it was recommended to me that a career coach could help organize and streamline my search. At first blush it seems like it could be a good thing, but I'm not really interested in glorified cheerleader. 

If you've used one, did they help open doors? I probably won't do anything until after the new year, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. 

craig on southern charm hired one.  Got him organized. Told him to pursue his passion. Now he has a thriving pillow company 

Find a rich coug. Kill 2 birds with one stone 

 

the  best thing you can do is to find something that you're really good at.......having a passion for it is just a bonus

 

or just find a rich coug

I know a life coach, a former social worker he became a LC.  Skied and spent time on chairlift with him.  Some people need that kind of guidance.  Others don’t.  My personal opinion is if you need a life coach, a life coach won’t help.

I was so disappointed in Yellowstone that I haven't even tried any of the other ones.

Fair enough. I’m just weighing the pros and cons and was curious if anyone has had any success with coaches. There are some positive reviews out there, but you never can tell I guess.

If you are seriously looking into this, before you spend a lot of money, I'd recommend you go ask Claude, ChatGPT, and one other AI.  You'd be surprised at what they will be able to do.  Upload your resume and be as specific as possible with what you want.  Hell, you can even ask them to ask you a series of questions to better tailor their advice for you. 

After fooling around for an hour or so with them, you'll have an idea of what a career coach might do for you.  A sample prompt:

"Please act as a career coach and give me specific, actionable advice and steps for me to consider.  I want to  . . . [change careers, live in Chicago, make at least $X, etc.].  I will upload my resume and then I would like you to ask me questions to help you tailor your advice to my situation."

AI acting as a career coach now?  

 

First it was self checkout lines, now AI can do almost anything you ask of it.

 

When does it become to much?

Any local American Legion can provide the proper coaching…and they serve beer
